Real-Time Security Monitoring for DAO & Governance Platforms
Stop governance attacks, treasury drains, and malicious proposals before they compromise your DAO's democratic processes or community funds with Guardrail’s real-time, continuous security monitoring for DAO and governance platforms.

Trusted by leading Web3 projects
Block flash loan governance attacks
detect voting power spikes and flash loan patterns before they can be exploited.

Secure treasury operations
monitor multisigs, treasury movements, and fund allocations to prevent unauthorized drains.

Validate proposal authenticity
analyze proposals for hidden functions or malicious code before community voting.

Audits Are Just the Beginning
Over 90% of hacks happen in audited protocols after deployment.
Static audits catch code bugs pre-launch, but can't defend against the live threats that emerge in production. Guardrail provides the continuous monitoring that protects your protocol 24/7 where real attacks happen.

Why monitoring?
DAOs have lost over $4 billion to governance attacks and treasury exploits since 2016. From the infamous DAO hack to the Beanstalk flash loan attack, governance vulnerabilities continue to threaten decentralized communities.
Real-time threat monitoring is now a baseline requirement for DAO and governance platforms
Threat
Why it matters
Guardrail real-time monitoring
Flash Loan Governance Attacks
Borrowed tokens grant instant voting power to push through malicious proposals.
Flash-loan detection & voting power spike alerts
Treasury Management Exploits
Weak multisigs or access controls let attackers directly drain community funds.
Treasury monitoring & multisig action tracking
Malicious Proposal Manipulation
Hidden functions in proposals enable unauthorized treasury or contract changes.
Proposal code analysis & hidden function detection
Voting Power Concentration & Whale Manipulation
Large token holders or coordinated groups can manipulate governance outcomes, undermining democratic processes and community interests.
Voting concentration tracking & whale behavior monitoring
Smart Contract & Governance Logic Exploits
Vulnerable governance contracts allow bypassing quorums or manipulating votes.
Contract execution monitoring & quorum bypass detection
Social Engineering & Community Attacks
Sophisticated phishing campaigns and fake proposals target DAO members to steal governance tokens or trick them into approving malicious actions.
Voting pattern analysis & phishing detection
Emergency Response & Incident Management Failures
Slow governance processes prevent a timely response to live threats.
Automated pause integration & instant team alerts
Guards provide complete security coverage of every onchain
Pre-built Guards
Instantly set up ‘Guards’ for common attack vectors from our extensive blueprint library of 50+ ‘Guards’

Frequently asked questions
Need more information?
What is real-time security monitoring for DAOs?
Continuous analysis of governance activity, voting patterns, and treasury operations to detect manipulation or attacks before they harm community funds.
How do flash loans threaten DAO governance?
Flash loans give attackers massive temporary voting power, allowing them to pass malicious proposals or seize treasury funds within one block.
Can Guardrail detect hidden risks in governance proposals?
Yes. Guardrail analyzes proposal code and metadata to identify suspicious logic or obfuscated functions before they reach the voting stage.
How does Guardrail protect DAO treasuries?
It monitors multisig operations, treasury transactions, and abnormal fund movements, instantly flagging any suspicious or unauthorized activity.
What happens if voting power is concentrated among whales?
Guardrail tracks voting distribution and alerts communities when concentration poses a risk, helping DAOs respond before outcomes are compromised.
